Hans J. Wegner Seating

Danish, 1914-2007

Best known for his chairs and other seating pieces — though a master of many furniture types like sofas and tables — Hans Wegner was a prolific designer whose elegant, often ebullient, forms and devotion to the finest methods in joinery made "Danish Modern" a popular byword for stylish, well-made furniture in the mid-20th century.

Wegner considered himself a carpenter first and a furniture designer second. Like his peers Arne Jacobsen and Finn Juhl, Wegner believed that striking aesthetics in furniture were based on a foundation of practicality: a chair must be comfortable and sturdy before it is chic.

In keeping with that tenet, several of Hans Wegner’s best chair designs have their roots in traditional seating forms. The Peacock chair (designed in 1947) is a throne-like adaptation of the Windsor chair; pieces from the China chair series (begun in 1944) as well as the 1949 Wishbone chair, with its distinctive Y-shaped back splat, are derived from 17th-century Ming seating pieces, as is the upholstered Ox chair (1960). Wegner’s comfy Papa Bear chair (1951) is an almost surreally re-scaled English wingback chair.

Wegner’s most representative piece, the Round chair (1949), gained a footnote in political history when it was used on the TV stage of the first Kennedy-Nixon debate of 1960. That chair, along with Wegner’s more bravura designs — for example, the 1963 Shell chair, with its curved surfboard-shaped seat — bring a quietly sculptural presence to a room.  

Wegner was a designer who revered his primary material — wood — and it shows. His wood gathers patina and character with age; every Hans Wegner piece testifies to the life it has led.

2020 CH37 Dining Chair by Hans Wegner for Carl Hansen in Beech & Paper Cord
By Hans J. Wegner, Carl Hansen & Søn
Located in Philadelphia, PA
These are five CH37 Dining Chairs (sold individually) designed by Hans Wegner and produced by Carl Hansen & Son in Denmark. The chairs are made with a solid beech frame, painted black with black paper cord seats. These chairs date to circa 2020 and are guaranteed as authentic. Condition is excellent with only minimal wear. Three of the chairs appear generally terrific. See photos. One chair has a small blemish on the top left corner and another has blemishes on the arms (chairs 4 and 5). If interested, feel free to reach out for specific details. If you chose to purchase four or five of the chairs, we could likely touch-up or refinish those blemished areas so that they were not visible or much less visible. The other three are very nice. These came directly from Carl Hansen and were likely never used in a home or office setting. The minor blemishes on the two chairs were likely just a result of them being stacked at one point. As noted, five chairs are available. The price listed is for one chair. The CH37 chairs...

Questions About Hans J. Wegner Seating
  • How do I pronounce Hans Wegner?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022

  • Is Hans Wegner real?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • How do I identify a Hans Wegner chair?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To identify a Hans Wegner chair, look for hallmarks of his style. Most joints feature mortise and tenon construction, and armrests and seat supports are often hand-sculpted. Nearly all of his chair frames are solid wood. A piece fashioned out of wood composites is unlikely to be genuine. Find a collection of expertly vetted Hans Wegner chairs on 1stDibs.
  • How do I identify Hans Wegner furniture?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify Hans Wegner furniture, familiarize yourself with the Danish designer's pieces by conducting some online research. He is particularly well known for his chairs, including the Peacock chair, a throne-like adaptation of the Windsor chair, and the Wishbone chair, which has a distinctive Y-shaped back splat.

    Wegner’s comfy Papa Bear chair (1951) is an almost surreally rescaled English wingback chair, while his 1963 Shell chair has a curved surfboard-shaped seat.

    Wegner's primary material was wood, so pieces crafted out of composites, plastics or metals are less likely to be by Wegner. Some of his pieces do bear his signature, but not all do. As a result, experts generally recommend having a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer assist with the identification process.

    On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Hans Wegner furniture.
